My favorite Megan Miranda yet! This is my favorite Megan Miranda yet! Daughter of Mine is about family secrets you keep and secrets you keep from your family. Hazel Sharp returns home after her father dies, Mirror Lake’s longtime beloved detective. His absence is the town sharpened by a drought that uncovers long kept secrets, including clues to Hazel’s mother’s disappearance. I enjoyed the short chapters with chapter headings cluing us in to how long the town of Mirror Lake has been without rain. It added to the suffocating feeling of staying in lakeside house, alone, potentially being watched, and unsure of who in town to trust. Miranda builds up the tension and suspicion slowly and by the end it is HIGH and I was stressed. I really enjoyed this small town mystery!
I also love this cover! Her book jacket designs make for some of the most gorgeous thrillers on my shelf.
